Back to School Hairstyle: Half Braided Pigtails

I’m very into making hairstyles for Mayita, and it’s like a dream come true. Let me explain, I enjoy learning, creating and practicing with her hair because I never learned how to do it in mine.

At those times everything was different and there was not such variety of products for my type of hair, it was much later that I learned, I think when I was around 17 or so.

And in these modern times, there are many wonderful products even for children like these from Johnson’s Baby; I’m so grateful and happy to collaborate with the No More Tangles line of products again for another hairstyle!

Although Mayita continues in the same daycare / preschool, she will no longer have so many field trips or play with water and begin again with the school year curriculum, so it will be a change anyway.

The idea of ​​a back to school hairstyle for me is the typical pigtails, I love the little girls with pigtails, I was dying to have straight hair with 2 pigtails when I was little. So I did pigtails for Mayita but with a twist: I started them with french braids because I just love french braids at the moment! 😉

Steps to make the Half Braided Pigtails Hairstyle

Apply Johnson’s No More Tangles Shampoo and Conditioner, we use at night which is when she takes a shower.

Apply Johnson’s No More Tangles Leave In Conditioner, we do it during the morning with the hair dry.

Spray Johnson’s No More Tangles Detangling Spray and comb or brush all hair, it will unlock knots easily!

Divide the hair in half and hold the opposite side that you will start the braid on with a clip.

Start making the French braid on the other side (follow the same instructions from my previous post if you have not done a French braid before).

Make the French braid only until behind the ear, then continue it as a normal braid halfway and secure it with a little rubber band.

Repeat the same procedure on the other side using more Johnson’s No More Tangles detangling spray when necessary.

Now grab the rest of one side of loose hair and join it with the braid tying with another rubber band.

You will end up with two rubber bands in different places in the same pigtail so pull the braid’s rubber band out, tighten the pigtail well and repeat the same procedure with the other side so that you have the pigtails.

I like to twist them with the comb so that they look neatly arranged. Decorate with two bows and they’re done!
